I’m only in in the 19-page “Findings and Conclusions”, and have decided to start drinking early.
I feel like Jon Stewart after Eric Garner. I don’t know what to say. I mean, fucking ice water baths: that’s shit Josef Mengele did. It’s just utterly fucking disgusting, not only what’s been done in our name, but that the walking sentient turds that committed these crimes walk free, and in some cases get paid substantial sums of money to share their wisdom.
This is just the beginning of the long overdue “look back” that President Obama has desperately advised we not do. But we need to look back: someday we will have to ask ourselves “how did we get here, to this debased and barren moral and cultural moonscape.” What we did after 9/11 is, in my opinion, at the root of so much of our recent barbarity. We’ve always been a fucked up violent culture, but 9/11 sent that shit into overdrive.
We gotta look back if we’re ever gonna see the way forward.
